Reporter last night a driver hit a 13 year old igniting a conversation about a Pedestrian Safety here. Police said is the third accident at the intersection in five years. The other two did not involve a pedestrian. The intersection has to stop signs. One for both the existing skyline plaza and the other comes out of the neighborhood across the street. This is kind of scary because people getting off the freeway do not have a stop sign and they just the right through it and not Pay Attention to pedestrians. I have gone to two City Council Meetings twice. I have complained over the fall about it and the only thing that they have done about it was put up a sign a little yellow ciba said stop for pedestrians which is useless. It has been 24 hours since the accident. Pedestrians and need to be aware that a crosswalk, a signal, and a stop sign that this not ensure one security. You have to be alert. You have to take responsibility for yourself as you are crossing the street because view of
